      Yesterday, @BernieSanders declared in a campaign address that “democratic socialism is the only way.” I have great respect for @BernieSanders. He has provided great clarity and urgency around the major issues facing working families. But I fundamentally disagree.

      Democratic socialism is not only a poor electoral strategy – it’s a bad governing model. While gov't plays a vital role in tackling big challenges, it is rarely successful alone. It is when we team up – gov’t, nonprofits and the private sector – that we see the greatest success.

      I used that collaborative approach in Colorado, and, today, our state has: ✔️ Near universal healthcare ✔️ The #1 economy in the country, 3 years in a row ✔️ Tough methane regulations ✔️ Universal background checks and magazine limits ✔️ Reliable broadband in all 64 counties

          We also partnered with a private foundation to make long-acting reversible contraception (“LARC”) affordable to ALL women in CO, starting at age 15. The program: ✔️reduced teen pregnancy rate by 54% ✔️reduced teen abortion rate by 64% ✔️saved taxpayers $70 million over 5 years

          We went to the state legislature to get permanent funding to support the program. Some Republicans refused. CO foundations helped fund it that year, and we continued our dialogue with Republicans. The next year, the program’s funding passed with bipartisan support.

          You don’t have near universal coverage. You’re bastardizing the term. People are still paying a shit ton for premiums, deductibles, copayments, out of pocket costs.

          Scandinavian countries have full universal healthcare, arguably the number 1 economies in the world, at least for the citizens. And those countries are better at gun control and environmental regulation.

          Indeed! They are also all ranked higher on the “happiness” scale, have significantly longer life expectancies, and a much lower infant mortality rate The US has the highest infant mortality rate in the developed world

          Near universal healthcare.. how nice. So for those who don’t have healthcare, are they collateral damage so that insurance execs and shareholders can continue to profit off the misery of others?

          65% of people in Colorado received subsidized healthcare you big socialist. CO healthcare only works with socialized healthcare costs, yet you still have a ton of struggling families and bankruptcies (28th in 2019 bankruptcies per capita).
